Dr. Meena Bose appeared on WNYW-TV Fox 5 to discuss how the record-breaking turnout for early voting in New York City underscored public engagement in the mayoral race.
“There is reporting that suggests total turnout on Election Day could approach 2 million. We haven’t seen numbers like that for a mayoral race in more than 30 years,” she said.
Dr. Bose is a Hofstra University professor of political science, executive dean of the Public Policy and Public Service program, and director of the Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency.

Lawrence Levy, associate vice president and executive dean of the National Center for Suburban Studies, was interviewed by the Investigative Post for the article: “Housing shortage could cost New York politically.” New York’s persistent housing shortage, driven in part by restrictive local zoning and slow homebuilding, is contributing to population loss that could cost the state two U.S. House seats after the 2030 Census as people relocate to more affordable areas. Levy said that because housing policy is handled town by town, many communities “become villages of no,” resisting new housing and exacerbating the problem.
